The dress was designed by the label of Alexander McQueen, a beloved British designer who committed suicide less than a year ago

Suicide invalidates all previous achievements and accomplishments. By committing suicide, he renounced everything he had created, including this gown, which, in my opinion, reeks of despair. The pattern, which is inappropriate for the design; the completely inscrutable straps--it makes no sense. Very sad about the suicide, though. God have mercy on his soul.

Yes, it has that African Native flare she tends to gravitate to. But it’s better than some of the other junk she’s worn...and appropriate for a dinner as such. But I don’t think she enjoys dressing up.

I am so glad the article clarified the gown color choice. For a second there I thought that red dress and black shawl was a reflection of the revolution color scheme..
I thought the dress was ugly..looked like it has black splotches on it..

Hillary would be wise to go back to her page boy hair style when she was FL. What is she doing with her hair..it looks awful all the time now.

Dawning commie red for the visiting commies. Should we be surprised? I’m not.

It may take decades to restore class to our Whitehouse. The current occupants are classless clowns.

The dress does look nice. Very womanly and flattering to figure. Nice change from a couple of dresses she has wore.

Maybe that dress has a built in over the shoulder boulder holder.

We all hate Socialism and know it brings only murder and devastation. Hillary and Michelle both look lovely. Black women love POP when it comes to dressing so this is all just a waste.

My wife is a gourgeous red head who I adore and it would piss me off to bullets if people picked on her because of politics.

Knock this crap off. Free Republic is way above it.

I wonder why she didn’t put on a matching big red turban, or maybe balance a bowl of water on her head? Since either would would go quite naturally, with her flamboyant red dress.

Poor Hill has no fashion sense at all! That dress is not a good color on her, nor does the necklace help things. She needs What Not To Wear to come to her rescue also.

"it makes no sense"

It makes no sense to offer a black tie state dinner to a sleazy ChiCom who doesn't even own a tux.

We are not ‘picking on her’ because of politics. It is the fact that so many articles claim about how wonderfully she dresses and what a great fashion sense she has, then she’s fair game.

She goes braless, has camel toe time after time, has items that don’t fit well on all the time and then wears things that look as if they came from her children’s closets.

So NO she does not look great, she doesn’t have fashion sense and she is NOT picked on because of politics.

The first lady should ALWAYS wear a bra, should NEVER have camel toe and typically wears hose of some sort or another.

As for Hillary, if you think she looked lovely you need glasses. She looked like an older woman attempting to downplay the fact that she’s pushing the wrong side of the 60’s.
